Abstract
A method for addressing problems of computer remote software configuration management is provided wherein a computer program executes a scripting language in order to examine the software installed on a computer. In the event the script determines that software needs to be downloaded, installed or configured, it causes programs to be executed to perform these functions. Such a program enables a user to consistently get correct software installed with the correct configuration for the system, thus reducing demands for technical support and the costs associated therewith.
